XE SV PROJECT 8

THE MOST EXTREME PERFORMANCE JAGUAR EVER

With 600PS from a 5.0 litre Supercharged V8 engine, Project 8 is the most powerful road legal Jaguar in history. Total production will be strictly limited to 300 cars worldwide, each one hand-assembled at the SVO Technical Centre in Warwickshire, England. Choose between the two-seat Track Pack version and a road-biased four-seater – both exclusively available in left hand drive.

SPECIAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS

SVO creates the ultimate Jaguar vehicles: the fastest, and the most luxurious, incorporating the highest levels of technology. Our specialist engineers, designers and craftsmen enable our most discerning clients to indulge their passion for Jaguar. The result is always exclusive, desirable and collectible.

PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY

Engineered to be the world’s most exhilarating sports saloon, Project 8 uses motor sport derived suspension and a modified All Wheel Drive system for outstanding driver feel and agility. Damper mounts are ball-jointed to improve response and there are two ride heights – one for the road and a 15mm lower setting for the track.

SUPERCHARGED HEART. ALUMINIUM ARCHITECTURE

The heart of the car is Jaguar’s legendary supercharged V8. But speed and driving exhilaration aren’t just about power. Jaguar’s pioneering Lightweight Aluminium Architecture combined with Project 8’s extensive use of carbon fibre – for the bonnet, bumpers, fenders, side skirts, front splitter and rear aero wing – keep weight to a minimum.

SIGNATURE FEATURES

REAR WING

Project 8’s body has been extensively redesigned to offer aerodynamic performance essential for a 322kmh car. This includes an adjustable deep front splitter, rear diffuser and a large adjustable rear aero wing. The wing’s angle of attack can be fine tuned either to reduce drag or maximise downforce – producing up to 122kg of downforce once you reach 299kmh.

BRAKES

The supercharged V8 engine and lightweight body assure astonishing performance. But stopping power is just as important for a 322kmh car. Project 8 has the largest and most technologically advanced brakes ever fitted to a Jaguar – vast 400mm carbon ceramic discs with huge 6 piston calipers up front. They’re light too, saving 18kg.

A REAL CONNECTION TO THE ROAD

All Wheel Drive ensures superb responsiveness, traction and agility. No Jaguar feels more ‘alive’. The handling is rear-drive biased, like a two-door supercar. The Intelligent Driveline Dynamics includes an Electronic Active Differential, as part of the advanced computer-controlled drive set-up. For ultimate performance, Project 8’s uniquely tuned version of Adaptive Dynamics includes a new Track Mode.

RACING SEATS

Customers who select the track-oriented 2 seat version of Project 8 will benefit from carbon fibre racing seats, fitted with a four-point competition harness, affixed to a retention hoop. The 4 seat model features special lightweight magnesium-framed performance front seats with Ebony leather and Oyster contrast stitching, throughout.

PERSONALISED TO YOU

Project 8 is offered in 3 standard colours, as well as five optional SVO Premium Palette colours. To make the car truly unique – a genuine one-off – choose the Bespoke by SVO edition. This includes a choice of 10,000 further body and accent colours plus bespoke racing-inspired decals, painted brake calipers, commissioning plaque, and much more.

TO THE POWER OF 600PS

Project 8 is the fastest Jaguar saloon ever. Its 5.0 litre supercharged V8 produces 600PS and 700Nm of torque, making it the most powerful engine ever fitted to a Jaguar road car. Maximum speed is 322kmh and 0-100kmh takes just 3.7 seconds. While the car’s 8-speed transmission can manually paddle shift in just 0.2 seconds – faster than the blink of an eye.
